Chapter 38 Return to Beijing
Three days.
A series of tests were completed.
The test papers were filled with data.
In addition, there were also the review opinions of various experts.
After seeing off the expert delegation, Liu Tao was all smiles.
Although Liu Changyou took away a few '78-type' heavy machine guns, he also won the support of this leader. It won't be long before the first batch of '78-type' heavy machine gun orders will be handed over to Panshan Machinery Factory.
As long as this heavy machine gun enters the 40th Division, other troops will soon see the effect. Liu Tao doesn't believe that other divisions can resist this temptation.
The more orders there will be in the future.
As for the complete '78-type' heavy machine gun design drawings, a copy has been given to Wang Tiezhu.
Next, the Yunnan Provincial Defense Management Office will take the lead in applying for national approval. Only after national approval can the model be determined and can it be equipped on a large scale.
Only after passing the review can the '78-type' heavy machine gun win a national award.
After completing this matter, Liu Tao is also ready to return to Beijing.
Letter of introduction, various tickets and passbooks.
Now is the era of tickets, with all kinds of tickets, such as food tickets, cloth tickets, stamps, and so on.
You need food tickets to eat, cigarette tickets to smoke, and wine tickets to drink. Even a box of matches for one cent needs a match ticket.
If you go on a business trip to another place, if you don't exchange the local food tickets for national food tickets, you can't buy food even if you have money.
In addition to various types of living tickets, there are also various industrial tickets, such as bicycle tickets, motorcycle tickets, TV tickets, and air tickets.
Of course, it's not that the RMB is useless, but sometimes money is not as convenient as tickets.
For example, bicycles, motorcycles, and TVs can often only be bought with corresponding industrial tickets, and you may not be able to buy them even if you have money.
Holding a backpack and getting on a 212 jeep, the driver started the jeep and left Panshan Machinery Factory.
As for the corresponding weapons and equipment, Liu Tao has entrusted the military to transport them to Beijing.
He couldn't bring weapons and equipment with him, because no one would transport them for him, even by train.
When he arrived in Beijing, he couldn't take them privately, and he had to go to a designated venue.
The fastest way to get from Kun City, Yunnan Province to Beijing is naturally to take a plane, but in this era, not everyone can take a plane. Only cadres can take a plane, and they must be cadres of a certain level. With Liu Tao's current level, he is not qualified to take a plane.
So the best choice at this time is to take a train, and the train from Kun City to Beijing is a steam train, which takes two days and three nights to arrive.
After rushing a lot, Liu Tao finally got on the green train to Beijing. The train at this time was a steam train, which was not beautiful and of course not comfortable.
Two days and three nights, if it were in the past, Liu Tao could only buy a seat ticket, because at this time, the national railway transportation capacity was insufficient, and the sleeper was a high-end thing. If you want to buy a sleeper license plate, you need a letter of introduction from your unit. Without a letter of introduction, you can only buy a seat ticket.
Now, Liu Tao will naturally not wrong himself.
"Swing~~swing~~"
The green train started, and Liu Tao lay on the sleeper with his backpack under his head.
It was quite fresh at first, but gradually it became boring.
He fell asleep drowsily.
After two days and three nights, the train finally arrived at the Beijing Railway Station.
After getting off the train station, Liu Tao followed the crowd with his backpack.
Looking at the Beijing Railway Station of this era, Liu Tao felt as if he were in another world.
The three characters "Beijing Station" are of great origin, and they were written by a great man himself.
The original planner and designer was the famous designer "Yang Yanbao". In the modern architectural world, there is a saying "South Yang and North Liang". "Liang" refers to Liang Sicheng, and "Yang" refers to Yang Yanbao.
At this time, the train station was crowded. As a train station in Beijing, the flow of people was quite large.
According to his memory, Liu Tao arrived at the bus station in front of the train station.
In this era, buses were the only public transportation for people.
There were only a few motor vehicles dotted on the road, which were official vehicles of some units or embassies of various countries.
As for private cars, there were no private cars in this era, because private individuals could not buy sedans or cars, and only units could buy them.
Liu Tao sat by the window, looking at the roads and buildings outside, and memories emerged in his mind.
Liu Tao was able to go to university during the ten-year period of the cancellation of the college entrance examination. He was naturally a "red-blooded" person.
His parents both worked in the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building. Even if you trace back, his grandfather was also the same.
At this time, there were eight machinery ministries, namely the First Ministry of Machine Building's "Ministry of Civil Machinery Industry", the Second Ministry of Machine Building's "Ministry of Nuclear Industry and Nuclear Weapons Industry", the Third Ministry of Machine Building's "Ministry of Aviation Industry", the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building's "Ministry of Electronics Industry", the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building's "Ministry of Ordnance Industry", the Sixth Ministry of Machine Building's "Ministry of Shipbuilding Industry", the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building's "Ministry of Aerospace Industry", and the Eighth Ministry of Machine Building's "Ministry of Tactical Missile Industry"!
From the name, you can clearly see the direction of each department.
The bus drove into the west of Fuxingmen, which used to belong to the suburbs outside the city. It was the main gathering area for various agencies, military academies and their family dormitories.
Liu Tao was very familiar with the area around Nanlishi Road, Yuetan, Sanlihe, and Zhanlan Road, because the dormitory area of the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building was here.
It should be said that the dormitory areas of various ministries and agencies are mainly distributed here.
"We've arrived at the station, we've arrived at the station, get off the bus quickly! Don't waste time!"
The conductor yelled fiercely, pulling money with one hand and the fare box with the other, staring in the direction of the door, as if she was going to kick any passenger out if he was slow.
The passengers in the car were also not surprised, subconsciously speeding up their pace and pouring out of the car door that was not fully opened.
Liu Tao walked out of the car with his backpack on his back.
This area of Sanlihe is also collectively known as the Planning Commission compound.
The overall layout here is based on the "enclosed layout" of Soviet neighborhood-style residences. The entire courtyard is divided into several natural small courtyards. The small courtyards surround the courtyard in an orderly and unique manner. The entire compound consists of a three-story residential building with 211 building doors and a four-story residential building with 29 building doors.
In this era, there is actually no difference between everyone. They are all poor. They are neither better nor worse.
As for the accommodation, the difference is not too bad.
Following his memory, Liu Tao came to a dormitory, which was his home in the capital.
Take out the key and open the door.
This is a three-bedroom apartment with a set of sofas one large and two small.
It looks like a big family, but in fact there are six people in his family, and six people used to live in this dormitory.
Liu Tao is the third eldest child in the family. He has two older sisters, both of whom are married, and a younger sister who is still in junior high school.
The two sisters also got married, and Liu Tao officially started working again. Otherwise, life was very tight before.
